The performance evaluation results showed a maximum error level of less than 0.4% when paired with empirical analysis. The proposed optimization model provides strategic guidance for optimizing supply chain management and improving overall performance.

Stakeholders’ Perception of the Impacts of Supply Chain Management on Tanzania Construction Projects’ Performance

The current era that is characterised by growth in science and technology, free market beyond borders and globalization effects has compelled every construction industry globally to struggle to resolve the increasing and overwhelming challenges raised by increase in clients' demands and needs. The rise in demands and needs has led to a serious worldwide competition of which the construction industry and firms in particular from emerging economy countries can no longer escape from. In the domestic competitive atmosphere, construction competitors have attempted to identify the strategic competitive environment and potential adaptable market features targeting to lower unnecessary construction costs and time overrun, improving quality, safety, and environmental sustainability while attaining value for money. Thus, to tolerate within a global competition environment, supply chain management has been pointed to ease the construction projects’ performance. This study aimed at examining the impacts of supply chain management on construction projects’ performance. One hundred thirty-eight (138) respondents were randomly sampled from three cities in Tanzania. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and the data were analysed descriptively. An exploratory factor analysis was performed to validate the questionnaire. Afterwards, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted, and structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to determine the validity of the study. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The findings provided pragmatic factors necessary for improving construction projects’ performance. Also, it was found that fourteen supply chain impacts had a positive significant contribution to improving the construction projects’ performance. Moreover, the findings showed direct and statistically significant influence of supply chain management on collaboration, integration, risk sharing and management as well as configuration. Thus, the findings suggested that supply chain management cannot be isolated from other potential factors when one needs to attain an adequate construction project’s improved performance. Both social and practical implications of the study are recommended to construction industry practitioners and policymakers in Tanzania to understand the impact of supply chain management on construction projects’ performance to enhance performance improvement. Therefore, increased use of information technology (IT) in supply chain management is recommended to improve construction projects’ performance.

Impact of Sustainable Supply Chain Management in the Construction Industry

This paper aims to introduce the impact of sustainable supply chain management in the Pakistani construction industry and how it helps with the performance and Development of the construction industry. It aims to elaborate on and emphasize how a sustainable supply chain will be more effective the traditional construction management and its supply chains. A quantitative research method with a deductive approach was used to test research hypotheses. A sample of 154 respondents using a questionnaire responded for data analysis. In Pakistan, the market for a construction company is primarily local based and highly volatile. The assessment is carried out to determine the level of significance and degree of impact of supply chain management (SCM) and sustainability on the construction industry's performance. The results derived from the test show that SCM has a moderate impact leading to leading to increased performance. The lack of time and budget limited the focus to Karachi-based construction businesses, leaving other construction businesses in Pakistan as not relevant.

The Effect of Supply Chain Management on Competitive Advantage: Mediating Role of Supply Chain Responsiveness in Ethiopian Food Processing Industry

This study aims to examine the indirect impact of supply chain management (SCM) in its five dimensions (supplier relationship, customer relationship, information sharing, information quality and postponement) on the competitive advantage in its five dimensions (Cost, Quality, Delivery Time, flexibility, and innovation) through supply chain responsiveness as a mediator. Furthermore, 234 questionnaires were distributed in food processing industries. The total of 215 questionnaires was analyzed. For a robust result, we conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) using Varimax rotation and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to check the scale. Furthermore, we test validation of the second-order construct. Structural equations modelling (SEM) using AMOS 24 was used to test the hypotheses. The results of analysis show that the supply chain management practice (SCMP) has a positive and statistically significant influence on supply chain responsiveness (β = 0.909, p-value = 0.000) and the competitive advantage of firms with the standardized coefficient of (β= 0.639, p-value = 0.000). Similarly, the supply chain responsiveness has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage by (β = 0.352, p-value = 0.000), on the other hand, supply chain management practice (SCMP) has a significant indirect effect on competitive advantage by (β = 0.320, p-value = 0.000) through supply chain responsiveness. Accordingly, we suggest that managers of food processing should properly manage their supply chain management practice, develop a responsive supply chain to gain a competitive advantage. But this study was limited only to food processing with plc and Share Company.

Supply chain management practices, retail outlets attributes and organisational performance: a case of organised food retailers in India

PurposeThe aim of this study is to examine the impact of supply chain management (SCM) practices and retail outlet attributes on the performance of organised food retailers in India during COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachAuthors conducted empirical research with SCM practices and retail outlet attributes to evaluate the retailers’ performance. The authors present the results from 321 valid responses from the Indian food retailers. The study used structured equation modeling to present the analysis and the results.FindingsThe findings of this study reveal that most of the SCM practices (i.e. information technology, level of information sharing, customer relationship, supplier relationship and goal congruence) have a positive impact on performance except the quality of information sharing. The results show that in the time of the pandemic, the retail outlet attributes (image, service quality and convenience) have no significant relationship with the food retailer’s performance while SCM practices are necessary to achieve better performance of the food retailers.Research limitations/implicationsA proactive approach is needed from retailers at the time of pandemic situations to manage the supply chains. The retailers must be extra careful in screening the suppliers for the short and long run. The reason being that in the situation of pandemic, customers might be more demanding and hence, food retailers need to pay special attention to gain growth. It is also required that the policymakers should give importance to the implementation of these SCM practices to be positioned differently.Originality/valueThe research can be valued in terms of its original contribution towards companies in overcoming the disruption caused by COVID-19 to maintain a balance between demand and supply and proposes a completely new theoretical framework. The proposed theoretical model would add value to the existing literature to help the retailers in process of their performance improvement. The study has provided insights for retail organisations, suppliers and government departments to manage their SCs more effectively and efficiently during the pandemic.
